Chapter 820: Please Allow Reunion

The purple-gold armor of the Blazing Moon Profound Sky Clan is unlike anything our human race possesses. They forge gold using fate and fortune, employing creatures from the Divine Realm they have slain as material, combined with sacrifices from hundreds of the Blazing Moon’s subsidiary clans. This process ultimately transforms the profound into purple, culminating in a set of purple-gold Profound Sky Armor!

The captain gazed at the terrifying figure in the sky, whispering with an expression of envy and a hint of wistfulness in his words.

"Back then, I almost had a set of this purple-gold Profound Sky Armor."

"Let me tell you, little Ah Qing, within the Blazing Moon Profound Sky Clan, this armor is not only a symbol of status but also a magical treasure comparable to a taboo item."

"Moreover, it's a top-tier item, its power varying based on the divine realm creatures it has slain."

The captain gazed intently at the departing Profound Sky General, the longing in his eyes so intense it seemed to materialize.

Xu Qing also looked, sensing the extraordinary nature of that purple armor.

Especially his soul threads within his body, which emitted a sense of suppression the moment the armor appeared. This further demonstrated the extraordinary nature of the purple-gold Profound Sky Armor.

"And that Ghoul-Chariot Beast is also a good creature. Within the Blazing Moon Profound Sky Clan, there's a special domain they call the Mountain Sea Domain."

The captain's whispered communication continued.

"It's named Mountain Sea, but in reality, it's a gathering place for various exotic beasts, forming a beast domain."

"For countless years, whether it's the beasts native to this domain or those brought in by the Blazing Moon Profound Sky Clan from the outside, through accumulation, reproduction, and evolution, their numbers are now astonishing, and there are countless unimaginable mutations."

"Many fierce beasts with various bizarre abilities have formed, and the Ghoul-Chariot clan is one of them."

"It is said that this beast devours souls to live, and after growing to a certain extent, its soul sea can enter the dream sea, killing people invisibly. Hence, people often refer to this beast as a Nightmare."

The captain licked his lips.

"Most importantly, it's delicious!"

"My information might be a bit outdated, but in my memories from that lifetime, the Ghoul-Chariot Beast only had two successful taming records in history."

A gleam flickered in Xu Qing's eyes. He thought of the second stage of the Great Hunt mentioned by the Mud Fox. According to the captain's information, it was highly probable that the location for this second stage was the Mountain Sea Beast Domain.

So Xu Qing asked.

"Senior Brother, are there any other famous exotic beasts or rankings within the Mountain Sea Beast Domain?"

The captain, immersed in the memory of savoring the Ghoul-Chariot's deliciousness, swallowed a mouthful of saliva upon hearing the question.

"There are rankings, but it's been too long, and I don't remember all of them. I only remember that in my lifetime, the Ghoul-Chariot Beast ranked ninth, and the one ranked first was a being named Jiuli. Unfortunately, I never saw it, and it's said that very few people have."

"So, not many descriptions of it have circulated, and the information provided by the Divine Mountain merely states that this beast has 'nine cages,' which is vague."

At this point, the captain sighed.

"I once fantasized about returning to the human race, wearing the purple-gold Profound Sky Armor, riding a Jiuli Beast, while eating Ghoul-Chariot meat, and returning with an overwhelming aura, surely astounding everyone who saw me. What a pity, what a pity, it's all that old hag's fault!"

The captain gritted his teeth and muttered a few words.

Xu Qing remained silent. He knew who the "old hag" the captain referred to was.

As for the captain's description of returning to the human race in such a manner, Xu Qing had a different opinion. He felt that returning to the human race dressed like that, while perhaps shocking others, would also inevitably carry the possibility of partially redirecting racial hatred onto himself.

But as long as the captain was happy, Xu Qing didn't disturb his regret. He was about to ask something else, but the next instant, Xu Qing's expression changed, and he abruptly turned his head to look in the direction the Profound Sky General had departed, towards the horizon.

There, wind and thunder suddenly arose, approaching from afar, instantly shaking the heavens and earth, deafening and roaring incessantly.

The sky also showed signs of shattering, forming dense cracks, like a shattered mirror that hadn't yet scattered.

As the clouds and mist violently tore apart, a piercing sound came from the void. Wherever this sound passed, it possessed the power to pierce metal and crack stone, extremely sharp, stirring up a storm.

The ground trembled, and the Profound Moon District in mid-air also paused slightly.

Immediately after, a faint figure, seemingly composed of mist, appeared from where the wind and thunder originated, howling towards the southwest, rapidly fleeing.

Behind this figure, the departed Profound Sky General, riding the Ghoul-Chariot, slowly approached.

He held a long spear of ghostly fire, with indifference in his eyes, his entire body gleaming with golden light like the sun. As he watched the fleeing misty figure, he spoke indifferently.

"Go back and tell your master that the little devil is living very well with me. And for the little devil's sake, I haven't killed your clan three times, but next time, I will begin the slaughter."

His words, each word containing the power of rules, formed an imprint, landing behind the fleeing figure and turning into suppression. This caused the figure to collapse dozens of times consecutively before it finally managed to escape and vanish.

With the disappearance of the figure, the Ghoul-Chariot beneath the Profound Sky General let out a low growl, turned and flickered, carrying its master away into the distance, slowly vanishing from sight.

Heaven and earth returned to normal, and the Profound Moon District in mid-air continued its journey.

The cultivators of the various Blazing Moon clans within it all bowed their heads, their expressions respectful.

Xu Qing watched this scene, a hint of yearning appearing in his eyes.

He also wished that one day his own combat power could reach the Spirit-Embodied stage. The captain beside him clearly saw what Xu Qing was thinking and patted his shoulder.

"What's the big deal about this? If I were to go all out and unseal myself, I could be like that in an instant. As for you, little Ah Qing, no rush, no rush."

The captain blinked and turned to look at the approaching Blazing Moon District.

"Come on, let's go stroll around."

Xu Qing nodded, withdrew his gaze from the direction the Profound Sky General had left, and walked forward with the captain, heading straight for the Blazing Moon District.

Here, the forbidden mountain above his head, although still unable to be put away, could be shrunk under the peculiar influence of the Blazing Moon District itself, floating and encircling above it.

The method to enter the Blazing Moon District was very simple: just walk right in.

However, there were qualification requirements: only members of the Blazing Moon clan could enter; outsiders required a token.

Xu Qing's token level was very high, sufficient for entry. And the captain, surprisingly, also produced a token. Though it wasn't a qualification token for the Great Hunt, it was valid for entering the Blazing Moon District.

Thus, after being scanned by the prohibition array, the two successfully walked onto the streets of the Profound Moon District.

Looking at the crowd around them and noticing that a small number of people also had forbidden mountains encircling their heads, Xu Qing confirmed the truth of what the Mud Fox had said, and the captain also sighed.

"It seems that this first stage really is 'Moving Mountains'."

"However, we tried on the way here, and this mountain cannot be put away. Now it's only shrunken in this Profound Moon District, so I understand the difficulty of this first stage."

"This is to make everyone expose their mountains openly, then fight and seize them from each other."

"Little Ah Qing, this first stage will undoubtedly be bloody."

"Look, many people's gazes aren't friendly after seeing that we are human."

The captain whispered.

Xu Qing looked up, his gaze sweeping around. In this bustling market, he also noticed many gazes falling on him, or more accurately, on the forbidden mountain above his head.

"Control your expression. We need to appear fearful and submissive. This is also why I brought you to the Profound Moon District. We're here to fish..."

The captain looked nervous.

Hearing this, Xu Qing thought for a moment, and his face grew somewhat pale.

Just like that, the two walked on. As they observed, gradually, an exotic-style market fully unfolded before Xu Qing's eyes.

The buildings here, though also shops, didn't have many people entering and exiting. The busiest areas were the individual stalls, which were incredibly diverse, offering everything imaginable.

Xu Qing even saw the flesh and blood of divine beings, and the fluctuations emanating from them were clearly not weak. These were rare items among humans, but here, though not ubiquitous, there were many options available.

The territory of the Blazing Moon Clan was too vast, which meant that the goods traded within the clan were all-encompassing, and even items from other races frequently appeared.

As for the appearance of the beings within the market, it was the same.

Xu Qing's glance swept around, and he saw no less than several hundred different races. If he had witnessed this scene before embarking on the path of cultivation, he would surely have thought he had arrived in a land of demons.

The captain's experience was far richer than Xu Qing's, and he knew a great deal about the Blazing Moon Clan. So, after walking for a while, the captain nodded to Xu Qing, then ran off by himself, squatted in front of a green stone figure, and began bargaining with it.

Xu Qing continued walking, looking at each stall, searching for items of interest.

"Poisonous herbs, there are quite a few," he noted.

In front of one stall, Xu Qing looked at the bottles, jars, and dried herbs placed there. After inspecting them, he bought a few. Half an hour later, Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

"Not enough spirit stones..."

Too many items in this market piqued his interest, but their prices were astonishingly high. With Xu Qing's financial resources, the spirit stones he carried were not enough.

Unless he sold some of his own items.

This feeling of lacking spirit stones was something he hadn't experienced in a long time. The current sensation reminded him of his days in South Phoenix Continent.

"The prices in this Blazing Moon District are a bit exaggerated."

Xu Qing shook his head, just about to send a voice message to the captain, planning to leave this market. But at this moment, from the head that had been integrated into his divine treasury, Unit 132, and had been quiet for a long time, an excited divine thought suddenly emanated.

"Great, handsome, invincible, and benevolent Guardian Lord, I sense the aura of an old acquaintance! Please allow us to reunite!"

Xu Qing's steps halted. Within the Unit 132 cage, two individuals had always been missing over the years: one was the Scarecrow, and the other was the Millstone.

After the collapse of the Feng Hai Commandery Penitentiary Department, these two had fled without a trace.

Xu Qing's eyebrows raised upon hearing this. After looking around, he walked towards a larger stall not far away.

What was being sold there were miscellaneous items, catering to various cultivation levels, scattered loosely all over the ground.

Among them was a scarecrow, missing an arm and a leg, lying among the miscellaneous items, its eyes blankly staring at the sky.

Beside it was half a millstone.

Xu Qing's arrival, with the aura he possessed as a Guardian and from merging with Unit 132, was subtly sensed by the scarecrow. Its eyes, like stagnant water, suddenly showed fluctuations, fiercely darted to Xu Qing, and after a moment of surprise, revealed excitement.
